On a more serious note - I do like how there is a bit less ego drama and bitching since deathmetal.org separated from ANUS. I do miss the comments section though....some of those users were fucking hilarious. Overall I would say this forum and its users are of a good quality, just as good if not better than when I initially joined.

I am here as a direct result of crows presence. If it wasn't for his effort, I would still be an on/off-lurker instead of an on/off poster. So that's at least one difference crow have made - whether this is a good or a bad probably depends on who you are.

I, for one, think that there are some very interesting posters around at this point. Some could probably stand to lose some of the arrogance, but that really isn't such a big problem. As long as they are actually communicating something other than empty posturing.

This may not be the most active board on the net, but the posts here have a remarkably higher standard than what I've seen almost anywhere else online. That's good going.

Thanks for letting Trystero express myself in my native language .I have seen great changes in Metal Hall , I took some time here , came sporadically (sporadic ), my first arrival in this site by chance , as I was going down junkie mp3 music , listening heavily and do not , then my more active participation here was Audiofile section , so not comment much , by the limitation of language, I think I liked a bit more as it was before the visual aspect , but do not complain if I realized it is less crowded than before , or that some names are gone, but this can also be a product of maturity as a people , not to lock both themselves and the computer , there are also many, many comments are others, a post is not going to change my life, can only give a couple of answers , or more knowledge but to change my lifestyle , my culture , I think not , but if you could take into account some issues, what I like about this site is the high socio- political and cultural , plus metal news , but now are much less , and should be more about their local areas , little or no income to deathmetal.org , to see a review, I do not care much , very corny , but if I must say this is one of the best sites out there, I hope will continue until the end of days.

I'm Chilean, I know all of these areas (Brazil - Argentina - Peru - Bolivia - Colombia ... etc etc)I'm running a news letter, with much effort, for the fucking money, if anyone is interested I can send you a free copy, but you pay shipping.Tom Araya was my girlfriend's neighbor, here in Chile ... but I've never been more than two meters from the haha.ha!! I forgot, I have 40 years, that tell you anything?

That sort of reminds me, whenever I see a member of this forum talk about making music I remember it, so I am looking forward to all of your projects. This goes particularly to istaros, unless that was a throwaway statement. Staying tuned.
